Whoops

So as you may or may not have noticed, Kit and I did not speak on air two nights ago. We were in the studio but due to some complications with the system the best we could do for our show was line up the songs we had planned and just get outta there... pretty cool hearing your own radio show from home.

Hopefully all the bugs will be fixed and we'll be back on top next week.
Make sure to tune in!

HELLFEST

Dearest Boys & Girls of the night...

Hellfest wants you.

It's dying to have you.

Why else would it host the likes of MESHUGGAH, THE MELVINS, KYUSS, IGGY & THE STOOGES, VALIENT THOR, OPETH, EYEHATEGOD and many, many more??

The line-up has only gotten better since their final announcement- go here to check out the bands & what stages they'll be playing on.

Also, Argon events is offering a coach deal which includes ticket+camping. Departures from tons of locations- London being one of them, of course ;)

Coach Package Itinerary

Day 1: Wednesday 15th June Departing in the afternoon/evening from your local pick up point we make our way to Dover for a late evening ferry to Calais Day 2: Thursday 16th June On arrival in France we head directly for Clisson and the Festival site where those clients camping are dropped off at the campsite. From there we carry on to our hotel, to check in, the rest of the day is free Day 3: Friday 17th June Hotel clients are transferred to the festival site for DAY ONE of Hellfest 2010. The coach returns to the hotel at the end of the day's proceedings. Day 4: Saturday 18th June DAY TWO of the festival and once again the coach will transfer hotel clients to the festival site, returning to the hotel at the completion of proceedings. Day 5: Sunday 19th June DAY THREE as day two Day 6: Monday 20th June Hotel clients check out after breakfast and board the coach to the Festival campsite where campers' will be collected. We then make our way back to Calais, for a late afternoon ferry back to Dover. Arrival back in London mid evening & onward.

(They also offer a package where you can stay in a hotel instead of camping which is why it's included in the itinerary)

What's the cost, you ask?

Only £270!!

*also, I think they offer the option of a deposit for £50

To read more about this package go to ArgonEvents.com

And I'm not done yet!

If everything goes to plan, I will be able to get my hand on one of these to give away on the show!

So make sure you stay up to date with Who's Shuggah? happenings so you don't miss out!

Gigs Galore

There are tons of gigs coming up in February, and I can't be asked to compile them- so just make sure you check around your various metal community websites to check and make sure you don't miss anything awesome. Just a few bands playing in London in February are Black Label Society (HMV Forum), Kylesa (Underworld), Black Tusk (Underworld), Evile (Underworld), Sodom (Underworld), Rob Zombie (O2 Academy Brixton) & Periphery (Underworld)!

March kicks off with an awesome thrash attack at the O2 Academy Islington- Overkill, Destruction & Heathen! Other March shows include Dying Fetus at Bonecrusher Fest and the Devin Townsend Project- both also playing the Academy. (On a side note, to those of you who love dragging corpses, Seven Year Kismet is playing The Underworld on March 22nd.)

Update

Hey Guys,

I'm aware we haven't been very active for you lately, but there's a lot going on at the moment- not only in our personal lives- but concerning the show too. I'm still in the process of scheduling a meeting with the higher-ups to plan a Who's Shuggah event & we've been busy adjusting to the new software system.

If you have any ideas on what you think would better the show, please contact us at WhosShuggah@hotmail.co.uk
And to reach us while we're live on the air, e-mail the studio at studio@insanityradio.com or just send us a message from the main page of Insanity Radio's website!

Focus on Oceano

Tomorrow night, the first show of the year, we'll be broadcasting a special on Oceano. Nothing too fancy, just a bit of a focus in dedication to their new album Contagion released late last year. Their current stance in the deathcore scene is pretty impressive. They have definitely progressed a lot since 2009's Depths and I look forward to hearing more from them in the future. Unfortunately they have no current plans to tour in the UK, but if I hear anything I'll be sure to let you all know ;)

And remember, our new air time is THURSDAY NIGHTS 12:30-2AM!

PS- Kit won't be around as he's trawling the mountains of Spain at the moment but he'll be back for our next show. Don't be sad, Milad will be filling in for him!

PPS- The studio cam is back! So you can watch us on the main page of www.insanityradio.com while you listen!
